Framing the opening

Building a wall or a box for the new fireplace? The maker's manual spells out the opening size, where the header sits and the space the unit needs, and the framing has to match.

Our pros frame to the manual or check the framing another trade has built, before the unit goes in. The drywall tabs on many units help hold the finish but aren't meant to carry framing, so the unit gets fastened down to the floor or framing as its manual shows. Getting the frame right is what lets the finish look good later. Reserve a framing check in Rochelle: (352) 675-6366.

Rochelle is set inland from Florida's sea coasts. About 10 miles, measured point to point, lie between Rochelle and the Gainesville reference point.

Local Conditions

Attic routes in inland homes

When a gas fireplace in Rochelle vents up through the roof, the pipe crosses the attic with its listed clearances and fire stops, and past any insulation there. Our pros plan the attic run before cutting, keep the maker's clearances all the way up and fit the vent maker's parts where the pipe passes the ceiling and roof. The route is sketched on the quote.

Why the vent route comes first

Where a gas fireplace can go depends on where it can vent. The maker's vent tables set how far the pipe can run horizontally for a given vertical rise, how many elbows it can take and where it can end, and those limits decide which walls work.

Every plan starts by tracing the possible vent routes, through the wall behind the unit or up through the ceiling and roof, and checking them against the tables.

Only then do our pros talk about models and finishes. It saves you from falling for a spot on the wall that the vent can't reach.

Gas inserts in a wood chimney

Gas inserts fit into an existing wood fireplace and vent up the old chimney through liners sized to the unit, one for exhaust and one for fresh air, or a coaxial liner that combines the two, as the insert's manual allows.

Makers don't allow a gas vent to connect into a chimney that also serves a wood-burning appliance, so the liners run the full height and seal at the top.

After the fireplace and chimney are checked, the insert and its liners go in to the manual, and the gas line stays with a gas contractor. The chimney's condition is part of the free visit.

Matching heat output to the room

Units are rated by their heat input and, for heaters, by how efficiently they turn it into warmth. A unit that's too big for a small room can make it uncomfortable; one too small for a big room is mostly for show.

Makers publish ratings and room guidance for each model. Our specialists look at your room's size, ceiling height and how you'll use the fireplace, then narrow the choice to models that fit and that the vent route can carry.

Some units have adjustable flames, which widens the range of rooms they suit. The ratings are on the quote.

FAQs

Planning a gas fireplace? Ask us

Can a gas fireplace go in a bedroom?

The fuel gas code limits it. Direct-vent units that take all their air from outside can go in a bedroom where their listing allows. Our pros check the room and the listing first.

Is a gas fireplace install covered by a warranty?

The install gets our workmanship warranty, and the maker's warranty on the unit applies under its own terms. Reserve your free planning visit in Rochelle at (352) 675-6366.
